Last month we celebrated our Valentine's Day morning together as a family at a fun gathering at The Awesome Playground, where we noshed on food provided by Mix n' Munch of Pasadena & met with the folks from Bricks 4 Kidz. The Awesome Playground is an indoor playground located on York Blvd in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area of LA.

Checking Out Drenched Fitness – aka #BritneysFaveWorkout
Last month I attended an event at Drenched Fitness in Westlake Village. During the class I alternated between running on a treadmill & floor exercises using the HIIT method (high-intensity interval training). All the while, a local DJ played music that kept me motivated & pumped up. The class was a total hit HIIT! Afterwards, much like the studio name implies, I was totally drenched! Fortunately I was able to pull myself together … [Read more...]
Meet Shauna Ahmadian Owner and CEO of Pronutz
I met Shauna Ahmadian earlier this year when I attended the LA Cookie Con where she was showcasing her new product at the show.

Salonpas: Targeting Pain Relief Right at the Source
I’ve been using Salonpas patches for years. I remember being in high school & using these patches whenever I had leg pain & soreness. I would raid my dad’s medicine cabinet & get one of these patches. The tiny patches contain a topical analgesic that works on both muscle & joint pain. A few years after my daughter was born, I participated in my very first 5k race, jogging around the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. I knew that I would be … [Read more...]
Jen & Joe’s Frozen Gourmet Cookie Dough
Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh baked cookies? My family loves eating them & more importantly, my kiddo loves helping me bake ‘em. It’s a fun weekend activity; however, let’s be honest…sometimes with our hectic schedules we don’t always have time to bake cookies from scratch, especially when you look inside your pantry & realize that you don’t have all of the ingredients needed to bake that yummy cookie recipe that you found on … [Read more...]
